   Default thread display mode per forum

   July 22, 2005 by Guest asterik@gmail.com

   • 0 replies
   • 1.5k views

   I think we should have an option in a forum's options to set its default thread display mode (outline, linear+, or standard). And maybe even stop people from changing them per forum or global. Example: I could find this useful for GFX forums *such as mine :P* that people would want to keep the first thread *the one with the picture they post* on top which would be the linear+ mode. :thumbsup:

   Hmm... Will the dHTML menus be cleaned up?

   Maybe it's just me, but the dHTML menus don't seem to fit in with the rest of the board's design. For example, it doesn't have that "two-tone" look that is present on just about every other image. Also, it's just so... plain. Will the final release of 2.1 give the dHTML menus a cool effect, like what's done with vB's drop-downs?

   I know there have been threads for at least the polls, but I also wanted to say it would be nice to be able to attach multiple attachments at once. Example, select attachments and pick like 1-4 pics or something to upload. Anyway just wanted to get this out there

   Invisible Users

   I'm a member of the Root Admin group (to which I've named "Owner") and have created another Admin group and put two people who I want to give access to the ACP in there. Problem is, I want them to be able to see the Invisible Users (and currently, I'm the only one who can do this). It's my suggestion/request that this feature be added to the options in the User Groups. :) Just give specific user groups the ability to see the invisible users. Thanks!

   Should verify mgroup in member_do_add()

   July 19, 2005 by Guest K. T. Walrus

   • 4 replies
   • 1.9k views

   Just looking at the code in action_admin/member.php, it seems to me that you should verify that the mgroup input value is valid in member_do_add(). I'm not sure, but I think that if you have admin CP access but aren't in the root admin group, you could actually create a root admin user by just avoiding the form and doing the "doadd" URL directly. :devil: Or some other exploit... Maybe I'm missing something, but this just struck me as odd that this field doesn't seem to be checked before updating the DB...

   Why do not allow the users to have a custom logo in his Blog? Like, in skin manager and Templates HTML put in place of "logo4.gif" or "tileback.gif" a code like <--LOGO--> <--TILE-->. After, in the Admin CP will easly upload and change it in the Easy Logo Change and in the Blog Settings, put the option to customize the logo. If not, put the actual logo.

   Group Colors For Each Skin

   How about adding a feature for group colors for each skin? becuase everyone knows if you choose a skin sometimes it won't match your group colors, so maybe on User Groups you can set something up that it will let you have different colors for each skin for groups, kinda confusing what im saying, but am sure everyone gets the idea! :lol:

    IPB Browser Integration (via Bookmarks, Extension)

    July 13, 2005 by Guest //Nathan

    • 2k views

    A few days ago, I suggested a Firefox extension to aid in BBCode-tagging in posts. I have another idea as well, which would go along with that. I'm not sure if an extension could be made for IE users, but Bookmarks can be added to any browser, regardless (AFAIK). Now, this is how I browse my (and other) forums via Bookmarks now... That's the bookmarks toolbar in Firefox, and AFAIK you can do the same thing in MSIE. Those are links mostly to forums, and to other areas like UCP, ACP, Blogs, Arcade, etc. And my favorite link, Todays Active Topics, which is my browser's homepage. I'm not a big fan of the "main page" on any forum. Of course, if new forums were adde…

    How about making the board redirect message a user option rather than global member option. It annoys the hell out of me and I would love to be able to turn it off.

    When validating new members, can you please make it possible to click on a user's name to edit their information? Also, can you link the IP address so it goes to the IP tool? These would both save me some time when manually validating new users, and should be pretty simple changes to make. :) Thanks! ..Al

    Different Installer Design

    • 5.5k views

    IPB is starting to expand more and more. So much that it has many redesigns done (think about it: IPB 2.1's ACP, IPB 2.0 BETA skin, etc.) Now that IPB 2.1 is comming out, I think it would be better to change the way the installation script looks. I was thinking like something along the lines of this: http://the-fiction-place.com/ipb_beta_installer/index.html (The links on the page don't work-- the button doesn't work either, I don't know how to make a button redirect to another page.) It's a very basic layout, inspired by the new Admin CP design. However, well, at least in my opinion, it looks much more professional when the user first installs the forum. Plus, with…

    I think having a forum which acts as a Category should stop it showing sub-forums on the Index Page. It doesn't seem logical to me to show sub-forums of a "category".

    Display name changing

    An option to clear a members name changing history in the acp would be good... anyone else agree? :) If it's already there, where is it, i looked but couldn't see it! Edit: also an option for you to set the login name to current display name and vice versa (at the touch of a button). moderators should also be allowed (admin setting on/off) to change member display name incase of inappropriate use.

    Post Report Feature

    • 2.7k views

    I'd like to see an option for when people report posts... where you can set the behavior in the ACP to either PM reportd to all moderators or it would post the report in a new topic in a forum you specify. (it would act kind of like the trash bin, just slightly different) Example: forum "Reports" viewable only by moderators. When a user presses the "report!" button, instead of sending a PM. It dumps the report into a new topic in the "Reports" forum, or whatever forum you wish. This way mods could easily discuss the report and if there are lots of moderators... instead of wondering who is taking care of the report, someone can just reply and say "i'm on it" or what…

    IPB 2.1 & IPB Portal Suggestions

    June 21, 2005 by Guest John IV

    • 2.6k views

    I have a few suggestions for IPB Portal & IPB 2.1. IPB Portal Suggestions 1. Custom Content Blocks Obviously, the option to create your own blocks for IPB portal. 2. Change IPB Portal Layout Basically, change where content blocks and such are displayed on IPB Portal. 3. Random Poll I think there should be an option to select a random poll, in case you want a specific one. I REALLY want this feature!! 4. Custom Pages IPB Portal would be improved so much if it also had a built in Custom Pages system for users. This would be one less mod to install and it would make IPB a full website builder out of the box! IPB v2.1 Suggestions 1. A Moderating Center Ins…

    mail_queue and systemvars cache

    July 15, 2005 by Guest K. T. Walrus

    • 2 replies
    • 1.7k views

    This isn't really a bug, but I think it isn't the best approach to keep a separate count of the number of rows in the mail_queue table in the systemvars cache. Seems to me that there is a potential for the count in the cache to not reflect the actual count in the table (resulting in mail in the queue not being serviced in a timely manner). Why go to all this trouble? Doing "select count(*) as count from ibf_mail_queue" is a query that is about as fast as you can get. MySQL doesn't even have to scan the table to count the rows as this count is maintained in the system tables for the database. Anyway, it is a small thing, but I think you should remove using this ex…

    Bring back the "Board Home" option in the 2.1 ACP.

    July 14, 2005 by Guest Quillz

    • 5 replies
    • 1.9k views

    I know this is trivial, but I noticed that the 2.1 ACP no longer has the "Board Home" link. In the 2.0 ACP, you would click on it, and your board's index would load in another window. When I'm in the ACP, I generally only have that window open, so it's annoying having to open a new tab or window and type in the URL to my board. It'd be nice for the IPB logo in the top-right of the 2.1 ACP to link back to your board's index page.
